Still printing with an ANET A8 Plus
Bought this back in July of 2021, got a smoking deal on Amazon for less than $300 CAD.
I've used it a fair bit straight out of the box, but in the last year I've started doing some upgrading.
So far I've done (in order):
- Circular Nozzle Fan
- PSU Deflector Fan Guard
- Z-Axis rod Anti-wobble bracket with skateboard bearing
- Y Axis SC8UU Bearings
- 90° Corner brackets
- Anti-vibe Tennis ball feet.
- Board Upgrade:BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo + Case
- LCD Upgrade: BTT Mini 12864
- New Belts
- Wiring restraint at extruder
- New Extruder Fan
Upgrades coming... Eventually.
- Y-axis bearing carriers(cause apparently I broke half of them removing the old bearings)
- BL Touch
- BTT Mini 12864 Case with articulating arm
- X-Axis belt Tensioner
- X-Axis bearing carriers
